For venues and clients, she and RedLight provide the rare and convenient luxury of a vertically integrated ‘One Stop Shop Solution’ for all needs associated with the entire process of scouting, negotiating, booking, planning, promoting, and producing everything from small and intimate weekly events to multi-million dollar A- List productions. She saves clients both time and money due to her vast experience and close personal relationships with owners, managers, and event directors at both the top restaurant and club hotspots as well as the most charming hidden gem event spaces.

One of her main services is as a dedicated Venue Event Director, where along with her vast event client Rolodex, she brings the added benefit of her marketing, promotions, and creative direction expertise. Since 2007 and beyond Laskey has made venue event direction a huge part of her business and track record of success. In a nutshell, she will handle a venue’s event sales by both handling closing the deal on a venue’s incoming leads and coordinating their events coupled with directing a large array of her personal friends and event clients to these featured venues. She has had great success putting new venues event’s departments on the map as well as reviving venues that are a few years old and need a new revenue stream of special events and filmings. Jenn is very selective with the venues she will represent for event sales, but when she does choose one the increase in revenues and word of mouth popularity are almost immediate and always far reaching.

Beyond playing matchmaker between top venues and event clients, Laskey’s passion is in working with people in all budget ranges to carefully plan every detail of their event and to see that it is seamlessly executed from start to finish. After years of careful curation, Laskey works with the event & venue owners/managers, catering partners, bar teams, mixologists, graphic designers, event designers, production and rental companies, DJs, Bands, experiential entertainment, and more to provide clients with the tools needed to create an affecting and mesmerizing experience.

With a creative eye and design expertise, RedLight’s Jenn Laskey is the perfect person to make sure your event looks and runs perfectly from set up to strike.
